Matt Turner joins Arsenal this summer and he will be endearing himself to fans having snubbed a fan wearing a Tottenham Hotspur shirt.
New England Revolution took on Minnesota in MLS on Sunday night in a game that many in England won’t have been focused on.
The Revs grabbed a 2-1 win thanks to Gustavo Bou’s winner but the main storyline was the end of Turner’s time with the club.
Turner will be leaving New England Revolution this summer after six years with the club – and his destination is already known.
Matt Turner joins Arsenal this summer
The 27-year-old goalkeeper will be signing for Arsenal in a deal worth around £7.5million.
Arsenal teed up this deal earlier in the year and Turner will arrive for his medical with the Gunners on Wednesday.
That’s still one hurdle to be cleared but having had a deal lined up for more than four months now, Arsenal will be confident of everything going well.
Turner ended his Revs career on the bench as he said goodbye to the club, but he leaves as a hero.
Turner went undrafted in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft but ended up becoming arguably the finest goalkeeper in the States.
Now an international with 18 caps to his name, Turner has developed incredibly and will now be pushing Aaron Ramsdale at Arsenal moving forward.
New England Revolution have now published a video of Turner signing shirts and posters as he said goodbye.
Yet with one fan wearing a Tottenham shirt, Turner brutally snubbed the fan and refused to sign his shirt – even with Turner on the back of it!
Turner made his Arsenal allegiance clear by refusing to sign the Tottenham shirt, and it’s those kind of moments that will immediately get him in the Gunners’ good books.
